Blatchford Echelon family hydraulic ankle prosthetic feet
The Blatchford Echelon family is a range of hydraulic ankle prosthetic feet in four versions: Echelon, Echelon ER, Echelon VAC and Echelon VT. All pair energy-storing foot springs with a hydraulically damped ankle that self-aligns to the ground, so the foot settles flat on a slope. The VAC version adds vacuum, and the VT adds shock and torsion absorption. The maker describes the range as water-resistant.

Who the Blatchford Echelon family (Echelon, Echelon ER, Echelon VAC, Echelon VT) suits
For active lower-limb amputees who walk on ramps, hills and uneven ground and want the ankle to move with the surface. Which of the four versions is appropriate, and its settings, is decided and fitted by a prosthetist.

Blatchford Echelon family (Echelon, Echelon ER, Echelon VAC, Echelon VT): common questions
What is the difference between the Echelon, ER, VAC and VT?
All share the hydraulic self-aligning ankle. The VAC adds vacuum and the VT adds shock and torsion absorption. Details of the ER and exact ratings are supplied with the quote.
How does a hydraulic ankle help on slopes?
The ankle moves under hydraulic damping as weight comes onto the foot, so the foot can adapt its angle and lie flat on an incline.
Is the Blatchford Echelon waterproof?
Blatchford describes the Echelon family as water-resistant. That is not the same as rated for submersion, so check with your prosthetist before swimming.
